pubmed:abstractText
The advances in treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have demonstrated the need to diagnose this disease precisely and directly. Two international initiatives, at El Escorial in 1990 and at Airlie House in 1998, have grappled with the clinical and laboratory elements that may accelerate the diagnostic process. Shortly after the Airlie House meeting in 1998, an international group of clinical neurologists met to discuss optimal management strategies in ALS. The goals were to examine current diagnosis and treatment pathways and to attempt to devise an algorithm that would foster early diagnosis, thus enhancing the possibility of optimal treatment.
